I got my first pair at 40, had them for about 10 years as my eyes didn't change. Didn't take long at all to get used to them, loved them in fact.
Fast forward 10 years and I've had 3-4 pairs after that and have hated them all. Every time I get new ones I have to go back as they just aren't right. The first pair I went THREE times, and finally just lived with them even though I hated them. The second pair I went back twice, and the second time I have no idea what the guy did but he pretty much fixed the problem. It's always distance, the reading part is always fine, but the distance part never is. It only seems to bother me when I'm driving though, at home it isn't a problem. The pair I have right now was a year old in May and I hate them. I went back twice and the left eye is fine, but the right is still blurry for the distance. I don't know why they can't get it right. The office where I go has 4 different doctors, and each time I've gone I ask for a different one thinking that would help. But no, it doesn't. It's always the same result. Reading is fine, but distance isn't. I hate paying $500 for new lenses (kept my frames last time) and still not being happy with them. We do not have vision insurance. I've been putting off going again, but really need to go for an exam as I have Type 2 diabetes. I need to call and make an appointment, probably for September or October. Already dreading it.
